Restructuring and Other Charges
Fiscal 2015 Plan
In connection with a restructuring action announced in August 2014 ("Fiscal 2015 Plan"), the Company incurred charges of $24 million and $411 million for the three and nine months ended April 25, 2015, respectively. The Company estimates that it will recognize aggregate pre-tax charges pursuant to the restructuring action in an amount not expected to exceed $600 million, consisting of severance and other one-time termination benefits and other associated costs. These charges are primarily cash-based and the Company expects the remaining amount to be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2015.
